ALLIANCE GAMING PROVIDES FIRST QUARTER GUIDANCE AND SETS EARNINGS RELEASE DATE AND CONFERENCE CALL

 

Also Announces the Completion of the CEO Transition and Appoints Robert Luciano, Chief Technology Officer

 

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 30, 2004 — Alliance Gaming Corp. (NYSE: AGI) today announced that it expects first quarter operating results to be a loss from continuing operations in the range of $0.09 to $0.14 per share, excluding the previously announced charge against discontinued operations of approximately $0.09 per share for the jury award related to certain devices operated by a former subsidiary, United Coin Machine Co.  Both the Games and Systems divisions of the Company’s Bally Gaming subsidiary contributed to the quarter’s weakness, along with a small impact of certain charges related to the transition of the Company’s CEO and costs associated with a recent staff restructuring.  The Company is currently reviewing its annual guidance.

 

CEO Transition and Reorganization

 

The transition to new CEO and President Richard Haddrill is now complete following the announced resignation of Robert Miodunski as an officer and director of Alliance Gaming Corporation. “Mr. Miodunski’s contributions to reviving and reorganizing Alliance Gaming into a gaming technology leader today have been recognized and greatly appreciated,” stated David Robbins, Chairman of the Board.  “His services in managing the daily operations of the Company will be truly missed; however, the Company will benefit from his considerable wisdom and experience in his consulting assignment.”

 

During the past 90-day transition period certain aspects of the Company’s operations have undergone substantial review, including completion of the organizational integration of the Sierra Design Group with Bally Gaming and Systems. As part of the new organization, the Company announced today the appointment of Robert Luciano to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Luciano’s responsibilities will be to integrate the Company’s many successful System and Game technologies into a single cohesive strategy.

 

“Mr. Luciano’s commitment to success and innovation in the gaming industry is without equal,” stated Richard Haddrill, CEO. “Bob’s twenty years of vast experience in both traditional and non-traditional gaming environments, along with his extensive technological successes, will serve our Company well.”

 

 

G2E Presentation

 

The Company also announced today that on October 5, 2004, Richard Haddrill, CEO, and Robert Saxton, CFO, will present at the Goldman Sachs & Deutsche Bank Securities Gaming Investment Forum held in conjunction with the gaming industry’s annual gaming show, G2E.  The members of management will be available to discuss these and other issues pertaining to the Company and its operations. A complete copy of the presentation can be viewed on our web site at www.alliancegaming.com beginning the day of the presentation.
